Where was I 30 years ago?

It was a very hot day. I was in Netherhill, Saskatchewan, traveling in a non-air conditioned car when the announcer on the radio interrupted the music and said Elvis died at 42. I was stunned! I knew that was a special moment in history.

I was a Engineering CO-OP Student working for the SaskPower Engineering/Corrosion Control department in Saskatchewan. My job was to travel throughout Saskatchewan and complete pipe-to-soil cathodic protection surveys on the extensive steel transmission system.

I was 20 years old and just finished my 2nd year studies at the University of Regina. I was transferring to the University of Saskatoon that fall. It was the summer before I met my "A" in Saskatoon. Little did I know how GOOD my life was to become.

Where were you?
